Bio
Scott Solberg
Angie is one of the most creative, empathetic and proactive people I know. From the several years I have known her, I've learned she brings insight and motivation to any project she works on. I’ve especially appreciated her ability to work with our diverse team, facilitate meetings in both Spanish and English and make space for new ideas. She also excels at encouraging other team members to get involved and learn new skills. Angie's understanding of Ecuadorian culture has also been a big plus for us, and she has always respected different approaches to problem solving and setting goals. She is open-minded, willing to learn, and measured in her approach. She has done great things for our Reseach and Learning Initiative in Ecuador, and I'm so glad she has taken us on as clients. I am positive her involvement has had a great deal to do with our successes. I give Angie my highest possible recommendation.

As a consultant and coach in sustainable and regenerative tourism models, I help small businesses do big things. My passion lies in helping freelance guides, micro-business owners, community tourism operators, and non-profits highlight their stories and connect with the appropriate audiences. I also enjoy working with American tourism professionals looking to forge better connections with South American businesses. I use strong listening skills and strategic vision to provide innovative solutions for your most pressing problems.

NotYourAverageAmerican.com is a travel and culture blog that averages 250 page views per day. As a self-taught WP user, I designed the website from scratch using new Divi module themes for WordPress, manage the website using tools to control photo size, speed download times, and maximize SEO, as well as craft content that is interesting to my audience, scores well on search engines and is shareable. The website runs alongside an active community Facebook page, a growing Instagram following, and an email list managed with MailChimp.
